#3I think this app is great! I've always been the kind who's terrible about staying in touch, and it's so nice to have something that I can send out quickly without spending much time, yet still looks nice when it gets there.

#4Wow, this is really going to change the world. YC S12 is probably the best class out of YC so far. A mobile app that allows me to send a postcard to my mom...genius!!! A billion dollar company in the making.

Can't tell if sarcasm or not. HN has made me a cynical one.

It's sarcasm. Billion dollar company or not, doesn't matter to me and most people out there. It's useful and something people will like. It's perfect for me at least to make my Mum happy from time to time so you'll see me using this!

Contemporary start up culture seems to be in favor of launching with a "minimum viable product" as a way of gauging market demand before you sink too many resources into a product.
Not every product is amenable to this, of course, but HiMom is and you are seeing it in action.

#9Hmm yeah, they might be reaching a bit on this one. I'd wager we have just about sucked "social" dry. A lot of companies are trying to see just how far they can niche down the social networking concept, and I guess time will tell how much longer that lemon can be squeezed.
